Remind Yourself What is Important in Life
I woke today to the news of the Vegas shootings and my heart truly goes out to all of those impacted by this senseless and much too common tragedy. It is easy for the mind to get reeling about “why” someone would ever do something this terrible. It is a cry for help in a desensitized world. There is a spiritual deficit for these angry people. It leads to fear for many and keeps people from leaving their homes.
I know that when challenging times in life arise, it is easy to go into hiding and not want to deal with life. After a relationship breakup times are already a struggle. I do not like to preach yet also believe that there is always hope. The last thing I will do after a senseless act like this is let fear take over my life. These are troubled people who simply lack meaning and priority in life. It is amazing how one shooter can do so much damage to others.
Remember to live your life by your own priorities. Find meaning in life that extends beyond the thoughts and actions of another mentally ill or badly slanted individual. This is a reminded that life is precious and there are the choices of moving on and living or throwing in the towel. Please use this time to decide what in your life has meaning and do your best to keep that at the forefront of your mind each moment. Thoughts of gratitude and peace can push out fear and hopelessness.
Life changes in a moment. Make the decision to live a free life and live with compassion and purpose going forward. Get engaged and step outside your own problems for a bit. The world internally, and externally, is built on perception. My love goes to all of you.
